Hello! In some cases git-mv fails with "source directory is empty" when this is definitely not the case. Example (run in an empty directory): $ git init-db defaulting to local storage area $ mkdir ab; touch ab.c; touch ab/d $ git add . $ git commit -m 'initial' Committing initial tree f2dd231ec22a1d4376d4a6eadf49d87dd34ac2a0 $ git mv ab a fatal: source directory is empty, source=ab, destination=a However, at this point the source directory is definitely not empty: $ git ls-tree -r HEAD 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 ab.c 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 ab/d $ ls -ogR .: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 4096 Dec 3 16:47 ab -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Dec 3 16:47 ab.c ./ab: total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Dec 3 16:47 d $ git status nothing to commit This happens both in v1.4.4.1 and in current 'master' (v1.4.4.1-g278fcd7). -- Sergey Vlasov
